Using Le Châtelier’s Principle, explain why people suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning are given pure oxygen to breathe in

order to reverse the poisoning?
Chemistry

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide is toxic because it can successfully competes with oxygen for hemoglobin (Hb) sites according to the following equilibrium:

Hb(O₂)₄(aq) + 4CO(g) ⇄ Hb(CO)₄(aq) + 4O₂(g)

Based on LeChatelier’s Principle, CO poisoning can be reversed by applying O₂(g) to victim. This addition of O₂(g) increases system concentration of O₂(g) in the equilibrium reaction thereby overloading the product side of the equilibrium forcing it to shift to the left, decomposing the  carboxyhemoglobin (Hb(CO)₄) and releasing the CO(g) and combining with O₂(g) to form more Hb(O₂)₄.

9. Which practice has been able to save some organisms from extinction?
Archy [21]

The practice that has been able to save some organisms from extinction is cross breeding.

<h3>What is cross breeding?</h3>

Cross breeding is the process of producing separate strains of the same species in order to create new traits.

Living organisms are bound to go extinct when faced by certain unfavorable conditions that cannot be adapted to.

However, the production of resistant strains of the same species of an organism via cross breeding can help prevent them from going extinct.

What did Rutherford's model of the atom look like? a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons a random mixture of electrons and pro
RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:  Rutherford model, also called Rutherford atomic model, nuclear atom, or planetary model of the atom, description of the structure of atoms proposed (1911) by the New Zealand-born physicist Ernest Rutherford. The model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus, in which nearly all the mass is concentrated, around which the light, negative constituents, called electrons, circulate at some distance, much like planets revolving around the Sun. Hope that helps!
